This morning, thanks to the work of our worship team, we at UUFJC were able to come together once again and observe our annual Flower Communion online via Zoom. While we missed our usual ritual of bringing flowers together with their stems and petals in our hands, we shared images of flowers, reflections on our unique gifts, and the story of the ceremony's creation.
In her reflections, our President, Katherine Connor, recognized that we are in a time of grief now --- we grieve for the flowers we cannot touch, the hands we cannot hold. But by coming together with our unique gifts and our compassion, we can support each other through this time and find meaning, even as we acknowledge and hold our losses.
Next Sunday, April 19th:
